I can totally see why! It's very unique in the best possible way. Here's to you somehow managing to find one.

I have a 19.01 and would also like to add a 19.02 if possible. These reference feature a special case and crystal design, which I have not seen on other watches. Good luck with the hunt.

Does the Mosaic look better in person? In photos the mosaic part looks cool but the surrounding area of the dial looks kinda bland. Wonder if I would change my tune if I saw it in person

I don't think "beautiful" and "Ming" should go in the same sentence if i'm honest... But that's my opinion, they do nothing for me.

Is there a cheat sheet for the cities on the dial?

I thought really hard about the first 19.01 and to a lesser extent about the 19.02. The thing that ultimately stopped me is the lack of 12 indexes. I thought it would be a bit too confusing to read. While the 37.07 isn't quite as pretty and lacks the interesting movement, it has excellent legibility. If the similar indexes had been used on the 19 series, I'd likely have one today.

Regardless, I am very happy with my 37.07 and can't say I am too sad about the difference in price I paid.

I think in real life the 37.07 is stunning! Pics and vids dont do it justice. Glad I saw your photo as Ive been wanting to get new straps and that orange is bomb

The more I see and think about them, the more obsessed I am with Ming watches. Scooped up a couple more affordable models. May need to hop on the more exclusive pieces. Think over time the brand will see incredible demand. I really hope they can keep up!

I have a 37.07 as well and it's my daily for any office occasion. Thought hard about a 27.02 but ultimately I like the new sapphire Crystal construction better than the thicker bezels on the 27.02. Thickness wise... 27.02 is lovely.

I agree and have been saying the same thing. Quality build and a very unique design language and recognizable branding. Although strange heart logo lol

It's a nice watch, but I don't think it's worth what the sellers are asking.

I meant, currently somebody asking for more then $24.000 for this watch. Nice, real nice, but so much money for a Ming?
